So, I guess you didn't watch the very end of the first video I linked, where Magic Johnson said those exact words?
quote:

3× NBA champion (1981, 1984, 1986)
2× NBA Finals MVP (1984, 1986)
3× NBA Most Valuable Player (1984–1986)
12× NBA All-Star (1980–1988, 1990–1992)
NBA All-Star Game MVP (1982)
NBA Rookie of the Year (1980)
3× NBA 3-Point Shootout champion (1986–1988)
AP Athlete of the Year (1986)
National college player of the year (1979)

And that was against Magic, Kareem, Jordan
quote:

Bird would go on to win NBA Rookie of the Year honors. The Celtics improved by 32 games, which was the best single-season turnaround in NBA history.

quote:

After Bird retired, it would be 21 years before the Celtics would reach the NBA Finals again

Magic improved the Lakers by 13 games his rookie season

Jordan improved the Bulls by 11 games

Lebron improved the Cavs by 18 games

Well the Bulls and Cavs have never made the finals sans Jordan and Lebron respectively.
